Despite of some ESC proplems and a windy and gusty surrounding (4 bf), I had the first flight today: I had a really nice fligt (you have to be quick at the controls!). It was easy to build, the CG in the manual is OK. (I had to put about 8g to the front). Stabilizer was a bit bent. I could correct it with some hot air.

I first bought the twin edf but like to assemble the stuff myself so got this one too. Fuselage is pre-assembled but wings have to be glued, edf too with electronics of own choise. Much better and great fun. Also see the RCG thread with ID 1452474.

Just add a HK12A ESC a thrust tube a R415 receiver some HK282 servos a carbon wing spar some dremel work in the avionics bay, finally add a 3S460 Nano tech battery shake vigorously and you have a silver bullet.
Oh the factory CoG works too.

Aereomodello molto ben fatto che conviene montare con i servi da 2.5gr

per una maggiore precisione.

Purtroppo ho comprato per questo modello"come da istruzioni" le batterie da 2s

con le quali vola molto male con poca potenza "per questo 4 crowns".

Ho risolto il problema mettendoci le rhino 3s 360 che pero' entrano molto

male nel modello.

Ho dovuto per il bilanciamento aggiungere oltre alla batteria piu' pesante

10 gr sul davanti.

Con questa configurazione e' eccezionale, vola in un modo meraviglioso!

ps: speriamo che il motore non si bruci.

I've tested the mig with 2s 350mha nanotech, not enough thrust and after 3min of flight (3,9v each cell) I have difficult to stay in air at full throttle :|
Otherwise it's very easy plane to fly in no wind condition.
This is my first plane and, after a couple of hours with FMS, I had no problem to do my first fly with it (I have not flown any plane before), very funny.
Some problems with CG in the begin but easily correct and after all ok.
I've crashed it only in windy (15-20km/h) condition.
The canopy came out easily during accidents so, if you don't want to lose it, it's better to use a rubber band to hold it in place.

The kit arrived very well packed-no damage, well done HK. I am waiting for the Rx that HK is promising, hoping not too long.

The 2g. servos recomended fit the openings well and seem to have the same plugs as the Futaba micro rx, but this rx is too big for the model.

The servo leads are too short, need to be about 25-50 mm longer to reach the rx from the wings. HK should fix this!

Model is definately for advance modelers. One should be able to solder precisely and be very accurate.



Setup:

3S 450 mAh Nano LiPo

10A Turnigy Plus ESC

2.5 g servos HC

4ch Frsky rx

0.8mm connectors from HC



RTF: 112 g

CG: Where aileron servowires enter the fuselage.



Mods:

Added 2 mm triangle balsa on all the trailing edges

Repaired elevator hinge with UHU Por glue

Used ultra thin servo wires from HC (black and red)



My EDF was running very smooth on 3S, so no balancing was needed.



I throw underhand with 3/4 throttle, no problems at all if you have flown EDFs previously. Recommended!

cont......

first toss. It stalled on me and went in (video coming soon). A nice firm dart like push straight out is the best method for this and will see the model take to the skies immediately. I was impressed with the way it flew and only needed a minor trim. The best way to describe it is "a pocket rocket"! Remember, this is not a big jet. It is tiny. Fast for this might be considered slow to some who have high power larger jets. I could keep up with a 50mm Hawk that was flying at the time for a speed reference.

Conclusion:
Skyangel models have done well and I commend them for introducing a cheap micro jet to the market. It's a fun model, you get what you pay for and it can handle a nose in without breaking. What more could you ask for? :-)
